If they had a Blue light special like K-Mart perhaps their supply and demand would reach equilibrium. Most people who buy a ticket ski for more than 90 minutes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1erArt Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Freefall was nice - a little chewed up at the bottom, but a lot of marbles on Paradise. Burma was OK, and even rode up on Vista a couple of times to enjoy the nice snow above the lodge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I love seeing those snowmaking cannons blast. What a nice little recovery and terrain expansion Blue is having. Tubing will be ready they better have plenty of cocoa 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Law Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Tonight was actually pretty good, the upper part of coming soon was smooth fast with just a skootch on top. It was effortless carving and while the lower headwall had a few spots the star was the ditch spine. The sugar had piled up deep and made for a super fun bounce. Big credit to dirty and edge for that line. Crowds weren't too bad some annoying race kids but maybe the best conditions I've skied all year and I rode nearly 3hrs which isn't bad for 1 1/2 trails plus a ski tour. Blowing on lazy, lower main/midway, tubing and the big fan guns at all the intersections. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was annoyed with myself for not getting out but plenty of days ahead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't strip a classic like that of it's glory I wonder how they came up with the name Terrain run? It used to just be lower sidewinder. I really wish I saved all my old blue mountain brochures. I used to have an A-Z accordion file with ski brochures and trail maps I picked up at the Philly ski show at the convention center. That’s when Wawa was a novelty for Allentown people. You had to go to Philly or Down da shore to get Wawa and they didn’t even have touch screens to order. You gave your order to a person and they wrote down the order on a piece of paper.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I’ll study the maps a little more but at one time lazy was a Blue/green which is an appropriate rating for it. Also they went from 921 vertical feet in 1988 to 923 vertical feet in 1991 must have been a new geological survey. I enjoy the maps thanks for posting Indiggio!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the tectonic plates under the Poconos and Lehigh County collided within that time and caused Blue Mountain the True Mountain to grow an extra two feet, like Mount Everest is growing 4mm per year.
